Obama goes back to school

[Rey C.]

The people who are saying they are going to keep their kids home that day are fucking retarded.

And their kids probably will be too. But like Judge Smails said in Caddy Shack: "Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too."

But they'll be OK. They'll attend Liberty University or Bob Jones University. And after graduation, they will have options: a mop & a bucket or a pick & a shovel.

Or C. Go to work as a hack for some GOper politician.

Sorry to say that, but your country is fucked up.

Dude, you're in Canada... not Monaco or Switzerland. Are you really sure you wanna go there? :tongue:

Yeah, but to get the true do nuthin' jobs, first their mom needs to be boning the neocon/holy roller between prayer meetings.

Hey Jason, what do you think about the view of Neil Boortz above? Basically, he thinks Obama played you like a banjo. Or is Neil Boortz a "Marxist" who cares not for the American way? I think we should be told.

Hey Jason, remember when I asked you what you thought about the views of Neil Boortz in his article about the Obama education speech? Apparently, you thought I asked you to define the exact political persuasion of Neil Boortz relating to abortion and related subjects. You were able to tell us he is not a Marxist, that cleared up a lot of confusion on my part I can tell you.

I can't see how my question would elicit your response but hey, we all have our off days. The best way of answering my question would be to follow the link, read what Neil Boortz said (which dovetails perfectly with the theme of this thread - hence the inclusion) and then comment on what you have read. I really would be interested in your insight.

In the meantime, good luck with that field guide to communists that you are compiling.

The level of complaining about something like this shows just how retarded some people in this country are. My God, with the level of complaining I would have thought he was going to say something controversial or highly political. It's this level of stupidity that makes me embarrassed to be an American. I can't believe the number of people in this country that don't think about what they are acutally saying they have stuff come out of their mouths or write something down.

Too many people need to get their heads out of their asses, and actually start thinking rationally for once.

 

[meesterperfect]

^ I see it as people not trusting Obama to speak directly to their kids without themselves being present as getting their heads out of their asses and rational thinking.
I'd tell you why, but I ain't got all night to write.

Maybe they should home school their kids too, since they can't monitor each and everything the teachers might be telling them.

If those people's kids can't withstand what the President of the Unted States might say for a few minutes on a TV monitor, those little babies are in for a long life of failure, pain and suffering = no hope whatsoever.

I agree with the first part.
On the second part, withstand?
Its not about withstanding anything, its about people simply not trusting Obama and what he might say to their kids.
Many can't handle that reality, so they come up with 100 excuses why its "just not right" for a parent to not allow the PREZ to speak to their kids.
More and more people don't trust him, simple reality.

Yep...."the people who wonder where the sun goes at night and where to put the stamp on their emails."

What I read is someone that is kissing O's ass and I have no use for him or his views.

Yeah, I meant "withstand". Because if Little Johnny or Little Susie would be sooooo influenced (or damaged?) by anything (and I do mean ANYTHING) said by Obama... or Fidel Castro for that matter, in those few minutes, there is no hope for Little Johnny or Little Susie. That suggets to me a level of parental sheltering that is not only irrational, but also illogical. Many schools gave the students an opportunity to raise their own questions or concerns after the speech. But those with their heads in the sand didn't get that opportunity. Possibly they wouldn't be able to articulate their thoughts anyway? It has nothing to do with "trust". What was he going to do, reach through the screen and grope them? That's what the teachers are there for.

But at the same time, I believe it is the absolute right of those parents to raise their children in that fashion. Those kids may grow up to be socially retarded in various respects... especially when dealing with situations that don't meet with their narrow view of life. But that weakness gives those of us without that limitation an advantage. So that's OK. It's dealing with people like that over the years that should enable me to retire early.

Jason.

I tried. I tried my best. In my heart I believed that with effort and coaching you had most of the makings of a 'D' student at the middle school level. And I work in special education, so I know about these things. I was wrong. You have packed your inability to read a simple question and your endless need to cough up terms of which you don't understand the definition, into that bagfull of concrete convictions and sallied forth to that place far away on the other side of irony . Where those who agree with you are always right and those who disagree are always wrong or left.

It is a comforting place, although awash with much anger these days. At least there are no tiresome books there with endless droning sentences and needless paragraphs. Neither are there pointy headed geek types with their endless insistence on coherence and logic. No sir, if you can't shout your viewpoint then you shouldn't think it.

One day you may tire of this life and want to pick up a book and thus begin to discover what the fuss has been all about this last five hundred or so years. If so, can I humbly suggest that you forego the classics: Hannity, Beck and Limbaugh. For you there can be only one choice: Alexandra Pipe.

What originally got people's panties in a ruffle isn't that the president will speak to school kids (I can remember nearly every president during my school years doing this) but the lesson plan that is to go with it.

Before everyone started speaking out, the lesson plan and assignment revolved around "what are you going to do to help President Obama." Now I believe it's something about your own personal goals to succeed in school.

After reading the speech, I wouldn't have a problem with my kid listening to the speech. It's pretty much "stay in school and succeed." I would have had a problem with my kid doing the assignment in it's original form.

THIS is why people were in so much of an uproar. I don't think he has ONE good idea since coming onto office, and his original speech is further proof that either A.) He doesn't have a fucking clue, or B.) The people he has surrounded himself with don't have a fucking clue.

It is madness in its purest form. No good comes from this guy. Go ahead and fire away, but I have said it and will continue to say it that this community organizer with ridiculous ideas on how to "fundamentally change" America is trying his hardest to reshape the country in his image.

And no, I do not think that it is a good thing.

To reach that conclusion you'd have to have read a copy of his "original" speech. Could you (or anyone else, for that matter) link me to it? I'd like to read it too.
